Hi guys,

1) I use circular strokes during the bevel setting procedure.

I do it because the general guidelines indicate so.

What does it do exactly? Does it speed up the bevel setting session?

Is there another reason for giving circular strokes?

I've seen in the video clips that circular strokes can be given in 45 degree angle for wedges and smileys.

What is the difference from 90 degree angle circular strokes in practice?


2) When do you think a bevel setting session is needed?

I do it when the razor is very dull.

Is it possible for a brand new razor not to have a good bevel established?

I guess it's very possible for an old and/or used razor to need a fresh, even bevel.

So, would you recommend to go through bevel setting on every razor that it comes to my hands

for the first time anyway? Would you suggest to make sure I have a good edge established on all my razors?


Thanks a lot.
